The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high quality drinking water, managing wastewater and stormwater, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system’s 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.

The Bureau of Wastewater Treatment (BWT) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all facilities related to the treatment of sewage within the five boroughs of the City. This includes 14 wastewater treatment plants, sludge dewatering facilities, collections facilities (pumping stations, combined sewer overflow retention facilities, regulators, tide gates, etc.), wastewater laboratories and harbor vessels.

Under general direction, with wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment, Facility Managers are accountable for all facets of operations at one or more New York City wastewater treatment plant. Specific duties include, but are not limited to, supervising civil service staff in various work titles to ensure that each plant efficiently complies with all regulatory requirements in a safe and productive manner; administering each plant's expense budget, including energy, chemicals, overtime, parts inventory and contract services; establishing expectations for staff productivity, consistent with departmental work rules and contractual agreements; providing technical guidance regarding specific process operations; and attending meetings with regulatory authorities, elected officials, labor representatives, the community and environmental groups to respond to particular issues at their assigned plant(s). The Facility Managers will also be directly involved in the planning and oversight of daily work activities, using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to assure the reliability of key assets; and the hiring, promotion and discipline of employees at assigned locations. As the treatment plants operate around the clock, the Facility Manager is expected to be on 24-hour call to respond whenever necessary and is also expected to travel between assigned plants as necessary to carry out duties.
